Lewis, Bernard. Behind the Type: The Life Story of Frederic W. Goudy. (Pittsburgh, PA: Department of Printing, Carnegie Institute of Technology, 1941). Also contains "The Ethics and Aesthetics of Type and Typography" by Goudy, "an address delivered at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, February 12, 1938."
Notes
600dpi JPEGs. Goudy designed beautiful types, and Carnegie's Department of Printing produced a lovely book, but this is not a beautiful digitization of it. It is a raw dump of the page scans. But ugly as this production is, it is better than not having it online at all.
